....and the point to this article is what?
anyone who is a regular viewer of "the bounty hunter" I think would understand the point of the article. I remember this particular episode that they are talking about, and I think it is interesting [and what we don't see off the air] is what happens after Dog apprehends somebody who is the wrong person.
normally, you would think it would be said and done with. However,In this particular case, and the point of the lawsuit, is that this person started to become harassed by the local PD after their encounter with Dog.
I don't watch the Bounty Hunter, but I find it odd that the show got away with airing a bad catch. I would think the guy would sue the producers of the show rather than the hunter who shot at the wrong person. After all, our VP got away with it and no one sued him! OOPS!
